I was wondering how long this would take! It’s official, Sony Pictures are making a movie called “The Social Network” and this is the teaser video, visually it’s slightly underwhelming, but if you listen, I guess the storyline could be quite interesting, in fact you don’t even need to listen… It’s easy to imagine the [...]

Last year I challenged everyone to see if this was the most creative website ever? At the time, YouTube annotations were brand new, every agency was doing the same old thing, a few were even starting blogs (yes!) and then came along this YouTube video from BooneOakley, but it wasn’t just a video, it was [...]

If you can take your mind back 12 months to Cannes 2009 you’ll remember Coke’s Interactive Vending Machine won a Gold Lion, and in 2010 this time it was Unilever with their Streets “Share Happy” ice cream vending machine on show, but this time for the guests at Cannes and not actually in the awards ceremony.

This is the Adidas Match Tracker from Group94, probably one of the best technical executions I’ve seen lately, possibly this year. The App provides the ultimate match analysis, it tracks every pass, every shot, every formation from any match in the 2010 champions league.

The Nike Chalkbot campaign is hot favorite to win the Cannes Cyber Grand Prix and watching this case study really backs that up! Most of you would remember Chalkbot from the 2009 Tour de France, travelling ahead of the pack, Chalkbot posted over 36,000 user generated messages and helped raise $4 million over the event with a [...]

I’m a sucker for these sorts of digital installations. This time Ericsson has created something innovative around the world cup with a glass box placed at their Global HQ, inside the glass box sits 4 special confetti printers, all hooked up to live web cams. The core idea is about creating a live cheer made from thousands of [...]

On the back of the Samsung 3D Projection Mapping Installation, Sony have also been getting in on the act with this installation promoting an “Imagine Football In 3D” theme just in time for the champions league final and more importantly to kick off their 3D TV’s for the world cup! The projection was shown to thousands [...]

If you’re getting tired of the World Cup campaigns I’m posting, just leave a comment below and I’ll stop! But for those who are not, this one might warrant your attention, it’s an Augmented Reality Game Banner for AT&T on ESPN.com (created by Zugura, BBDO and Zoic Studios) The banner brings you right into the [...]

Firstly, my sincere apologies, never would I have thought that Miley Cyrus would grace a Digital Buzz page, and let me predict it will probably be the first and last time! However, I’ve good reason to post this YouTube video, lately, I’ve started to notice all kinds of interesting commercial applications of YouTube Annotations, and this [...]

I thought this was quite a cool little campaign from Simplycit for Chilean Football Fans. The aim is to connect Chilean’s from around with world in time to help cheer on their team at the world cup, so they’ve launched a Google Maps based microsite that allows anyone to submit a cheer for Chile, activated [...]

The guys from Mayo Draft FCB Chile sent me an important email today, so important, I thought I better share it with you guys as soon as possible! They’ve started a new social movement to ban Vuvuzelas from the world cup final so we can actually enjoy it as it should be, and to do [...]
